Thanksgiving Humor

Test your turkey knowledge with this fun trivia!

The best time to see a turkey is on a warm clear day or in a light rain.

Turkeys have heart attacks. When the Air Force was conducting test runs and breaking the sound barrier, fields of turkeys would drop dead.

Turkeys can drown if they look up when it is raining.

Benjamin Franklin wanted the national bird to be a turkey.

A spooked turkey can run at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. They can also burst into flight, approaching speeds between 50-55 mph in a matter of seconds.

A Different Thanksgiving Date?!

President Lincoln proclaimed that the last Thursday in November would be Thanksgiving in the year 1863. This was due to the continuous efforts of Sarah Josepha Hale, author of the famous "Mary Had a Little Lamb" nursery rhyme. She spent 40 years advocating for a national, annual Thanksgiving holiday. In the years leading up to the Civil War, she saw the holiday as a way to infuse hope and belief in the nation and the constitution.

During the Great Depression U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt agreed to move Thanksgiving up a week to increase the shopping days before Christmas at he urging of retailers. He probably considered it a small change; however, when FDR issued his Thanksgiving Proclamation with the new date, there was an uproar throughout the country.

On December 26, 1941, Congress passed a law declaring that Thanksgiving would occur every year on the fourth Thursday of November.

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Wednesday, November 6, 2013

6:30pm - The Gulden Community Center

Program: Interfaith Hospitality Network:

From Homeless to Hope

Speaker: Georgine Getty

Georgine Getty has been the Executive Director of Interfaith Hospitality Network of

Greater Cincinnati (IHNGC) since April, 2009. She has worked with people experiencing

homelessness for over a decade. She previously held the position of Executive Director of

Cincinnati Homeless Coalition, and prior to that she worked at First Step Home, a shelter

for homeless families in recovery. She lives in Northside with her husband, James, and

their two greyhounds, Zigler and Sadie.

I’m getting a tune up on my computer with the promise that after the computer

gets all updated it will be fast, really fast.

That seems to be what we want these days isn’t it? We want the fastest

download on our computer, the fastest way to work in the morning, the fastest

way to get rich, the fastest...well the fastest everything.

Even in the Christian world we want the fastest…the fastest healing, the fastest

growing church, we want to go from ―Saul‖ to ―Paul‖ in record time. We want a

miracle and we want it right now.

I received a lesson in instant miracles a few days ago. My wife’s uncle, Rev.

Raymond Martin celebrated his 90th birthday. After he graduated from

Johnson Bible College and a couple of years in the Navy, Raymond pastored in

three churches during his 50 year ministry. The last was the host of the 90th

celebration. He served there for over 25 years…baptized over 1200 people,

held 300 weddings, 450 funerals, built three buildings, moved the location of

the church two times, preached three times per week; simply, steadily doing

the work of the ministry. The parsonage where he lived is now the location of

City Hall. Although he has been retired from the church for over 20 years most

of the town, members of the church and non members came to the celebration;

Raymond had been the driving force to change not just a congregation but the

whole town.

Want to see a miracle? Plant an acorn in good soil and come back 50 years

later. Miracles are not about speed; miracles are about the happening itself.

Blessed by miracles that proceeded me,

Chaplain Joe

Managing Your Diabetes

during the Holidays

You don't have to give up all of your holiday favorites if you make healthy choices and limit portion sizes. At a party or holiday gathering, follow these tips to avoid

overeating and to choose healthy foods.

Eat a healthy snack to avoid overeating at the party.

Ask what food will be served, so you can see how it fits into your meal plan.

Bring a nutritious snack or dish for yourself and others.

If you're at a buffet, fix your plate and move to another room away from the food, if possible.

Choose smaller portions.

Choose low-calorie drinks such as sparkling water, unsweetened tea or diet beverages.

If you choose to drink alcohol, limit the amount and have it with food. Talk with your health care team about whether alcohol is safe for you.

Watch out for heavy holiday favorites such as hams coated with a honey glaze, turkey swimming in gravy and side dishes loaded with butter, sour cream, cheese or mayonnaise. Instead, choose turkey without gravy and trim off the skin, or other lean meats.

Look for side dishes and vegetables that are light on butter, dressing and other extra fats and sugars.

Watch the salt. Some holiday favorites are made with prepared foods high in sodium. Choose fresh or frozen vegetables that are low in sodium.

Select fruit instead of pies, cakes and other desserts high in fat, cholesterol and sugar.

Focus on friends, family and activities instead of food. Take a walk after a meal, or join in the dancing at a party.

Life Enriching Communities

Celebrating the ―significant‖ moments of our journey is a daily gift that we are

blessed with. November 1, 2013 marks the 10th anniversary of the first resident to

move into our sister community Twin Lakes. Can you believe that this day has come?

In August 2014, Twin Towers will celebrate 115 years of being in existence. We have

been so abundantly blessed with each day, each community, each person who has

walked through our doors to help be a part of the journey of who we are and what we

are meant to become personally and as a community.

As the holiday season is fast approaching, my hope and prayer is that we will quiet

our spirit and reflect on all of the blessings that have added significance to us in

2013. There have been many milestones celebrated. We opened a New Health

Pavilion, worked to expand the parking spaces and walking niches throughout our

Twin Towers community and exceeded our fundraising goal for Pastoral Care. We

created a community garden that blessed various not-for-profits by the labors of our

residents, knitted prayer shawls, donated time throughout the community. We lived

out our values of respect, innovation, spiritual and excellence in countless ways. For

all of these moments—significance was created in celebration of being alive; being

able to make an impact in another persons life.

I recently heard that we should create JOY each day. The word stands for seeking

JESUS , serving OTHERS each day in small and big ways, and lastly YOURSELF. So

as we celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza and the other religious

observances, please bring JOY to each of these celebrations.

Together we are creating exceptional everyday experiences by bringing to life our

core values and living them and serving wherever we go within our communities.

Thank you for our volunteers, residents, associates and donors. You all are

exceptional persons!!

Abundant blessings!
